The other party is about to close the net, and she is the big fish, but this net is only a small part of their countless big nets. The other party should not be stupid enough to think that such a small thing can cover her, and she certainly does not think that the other party is determined to rape and kill her in one fell swoop by relying on this palace banquet.
Feng Yuheng touched her nose. Coming to Dashun, her presence is getting stronger and stronger! She looked towards the Eighth Prince, and saw that he was also looking at her with a faint smile on his face. She suddenly smiled brightly, and the Eighth Prince was stunned for a moment. He couldn't understand why this woman suddenly smiled like this. Shouldn't he be worried?
"Ah Heng." Xuan Tiange tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "Why do I always feel that this matter has something to do with you? The daughter of the Grand Secretary had an argument with you before. Is there anyone..."
Just as she said this, she suddenly heard someone in the crowd say, "Isn't this the young lady of the Li family who had a conflict with Princess Ji'an in the Jade Palace?" This sentence brought up what happened in the Jade Palace again, and reminded people that one of the deceased had just had an argument with Feng Yuheng, and it was not an ordinary argument. Even Li Daxueshi was coaxed out. It was obvious that he would lose his job after the New Year.
People couldn't help but focus their attention on Feng Yuheng. Quite a few of them had doubts and thoughts in their eyes, and it was obvious that they had linked Li Ying's death to Feng Yuheng.
Xuan Tiange frowned and said unhappily, "What are you looking at? So what if there was a conflict? Young ladies from your families often have conflicts and quarrels with young ladies from other families. What's the matter? Is it because some young lady has a headache or something, so she wants to dig up everyone she has quarreled with? If you have time for this, why don't you go find that Lord Li and ask him why he didn't take his daughter out of the palace as soon as possible after being kicked out of the Jade Palace?"
People had no objection to Xuan Tiange's words. If they thought about it carefully, even if Princess Ji'an was unhappy with Li Ying, she would not take action in the palace, let alone kill him. It was not easy for a princess to trick someone. So some people nodded, thinking that this matter had nothing to do with Feng Yuheng, and no longer paid attention to it.
But if the matter was so simple, the death of these two people would be meaningless. The people on the Ninth Prince's side would naturally not doubt Feng Yuheng, and the neutral people also understood clearly, but there was a group of people who specifically opposed her side, and they would argue even if it was unreasonable. Moreover, now that the bodies were in front of them, how could they miss such a great opportunity. So someone else said, "The deaths of these two young ladies are strange. If you say that the young lady of Lord Ma's family was killed because of Lord Ma's influence, it is still a reasonable theory. After all, the position of Minister of Justice offends many people. But Lord Li is just a university scholar, he doesn't have much chance to offend people? Why is Miss Li lying here as a corpse now?"
Someone else followed up, "I just saw Princess Ji'an leave the table, and the servants said she was heading to the lake as well. Princess, is that true?"
After saying this, the imperial physician who was originally attending the palace banquet in the crowd also gave the result of the examination: "Your Majesty, death will not exceed half an hour."
The time and place coincided with the time when Feng Yuheng left the theater of Mingzhi Palace and headed for the lake. What a coincidence. Feng Yuheng snorted in his heart. The Eighth Prince was really restless after returning to the court. He started to make trouble on the first day of the new year. He was determined not to let people have a good year. It is said that you must seek good luck at the beginning of the new year. You can't get angry, you can't quarrel, and there are many taboos in speech. It's a pity that this palace banquet has everything. Even the corpse is placed here for people to see. This is not auspicious at all.
"Princess Ji'an, why are you silent? Are you feeling guilty?"
"That's right! Princess Ji'an, everyone knows that you will never suffer any loss without revenge. We haven't seen you suffer any loss in all these years. Even the emperor speaks on your side. Of course, you have done a lot of good things for our Dashun, and we should be grateful to you, but no matter what, you shouldn't be so narrow-minded! The young lady of the Li family only offended you verbally, and even if there were some physical conflicts, it's common for young ladies to quarrel. Why are you so narrow-minded that you have to kill that young lady Li?"
"That's right! Everyone knows that Princess Ji'an is a martial arts expert, and her archery skills are top-notch. The cause of death of these two people happened to be arrows. How do you explain this?"
Doubts came one after another. Feng Yuheng felt that these people were just guessing and winning. She didn't know what the prize was worth, which could make them say such insincere words. But it was normal. They were originally members of the Eighth Prince's party, and they had always been incompatible with her. In the twilight years of Tianwu, every day and every opportunity must be used to give full support to the prince they chose. What's more, she knew that this incident itself was a complete set, a complete set for her, but she felt that killing two innocent young ladies from official families in order to drag her into the water seemed a bit low-level. The Eighth Prince would not do this, so it could only mean that the killing was not to frame her, but after killing people, he felt that it was casual to hurt her, which led to the current situation.
Feng Yuheng shrugged and smiled, which confused those who pointed out that she was the murderer. They thought, is this princess stupid?
At that moment, countless people began to stir up trouble at the scene, and some people who couldn't stand it started to argue with them. The lakeside was very lively. Feng Xiangrong, who was squeezed in the crowd, couldn't help it anymore and shouted: "You are all talking nonsense! My second sister would not kill anyone. You can't distinguish right from wrong. How can you be an official!"
The little girl just turned thirteen at the beginning of the year. She is not as timid as she was when she was a child. Especially under the training of the fourth prince, she knows how to resist evil forces. But that is limited to showing off in a small range. She is still very low-key at this palace banquet. Basically, she has no sense of existence and is often bullied one by one. But she can tolerate everything, but she can't tolerate these people talking nonsense and putting a murder hat on Feng Yuheng's head. Feng Yuheng is her second sister. She has loved and admired her most since she was a child. Before, for various reasons, both sides pretended to roll their eyes, and the little girl couldn't miss her second sister. Today, she saw the three ladies of the Yao family openly reconciled with Feng Yuheng in the courtyard of Jingci Palace. At this time, she couldn't bear it anymore. What protection or not? If she is protected in this way of being a stranger for a lifetime, she would rather not have this protection, and would rather live under the sword and shadow all day long, and be with her second sister.
Xiang Rong's shout frightened the Fourth Prince Xuan Tianyi, but he did not stop her. He immediately said, "Yes, stop talking nonsense!"
Feng Yuheng stroked her forehead, "Xiangrong girl, my second sister has been protecting you for the past few months in vain. The Eighth Prince has returned to Beijing, it's such a sensitive time, why are you making trouble with him!" She thought to herself, I have to find an opportunity today to talk to the Fourth Prince and ask him to find a way to protect Xiangrong recently, and not let her make any mistakes. Or just take her to my house, anyway, I can't live in that embroidery shop anymore, it's like opening the door for others to clean up.
Originally, Rong thought that what he said would cause dissatisfaction among many old ministers, but the Fourth Prince spoke up immediately, and then one after another, the First Prince and the Second Prince also expressed their dissatisfaction with these people, which suppressed their momentum a little. Then, the Sixth Prince Xuan Tianfeng also spoke up, and directly testified for Feng Yuheng: "This matter has nothing to do with Princess Ji'an, and I can testify to this! Because when the princess came out to get some fresh air and walked to the lake, I was with her." In one sentence, he drew the focus to himself again.
The Sixth Prince was a scholar, and he had no interest in the throne. He was a neutral prince. Over the years, the court officials generally respected this wise prince because of his scholarly temperament and his significant contributions to the reading culture of Dashun. But I didn't expect that at this time tonight, the Sixth Prince would actually stand up to support Feng Yuheng and testify for her. What was going on?
People looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment, but some people closed their eyes and hearts, not thinking about the Sixth Prince, and spoke against their conscience: "Your Highness the Xianwang and Princess Ji'an? What are you doing alone at such a remote river in the middle of the night? Princess Ji'an, you are engaged to His Highness the Yuwang? Why are you so indecent?"
These people were arguing all night, and Feng Yuheng didn't say a word. He just felt like a group of flies were buzzing around his ears, which was really annoying.
She showed annoyance on her face, while the Sixth Prince was still arguing and trying to clear her relationship. Xuan Tianming, who had also been standing there without saying anything, saw Feng Yuheng's annoyance. The two of them were in tune with each other. He also felt that these people were like flies, so he stretched out his hand and grabbed a string of beads in front of an official next to him. He pulled the beads apart with force, and the rope strangled the man. He shouted "Ah" and before he finished, he saw his beads seemed to have grown wings and flew out along Xuan Tianming's hand. At first, they were in a string, but they scattered halfway through the flight, each going their own way, and each of them had their own destination. Those people who started to shout like flies about Feng Yuheng and the Sixth Prince's unclear relationship flew past one by one, some of them had their tongues numb, some simply got stuck in their throats, and some directly broke two front teeth.
Finally, the annoying sound stopped abruptly. At this moment, someone pointed at his throat with a look of horror and gasped for breath, saying with difficulty: "Help... Help, the hidden weapon fell into my stomach!"
The owner of the bead also wailed at this time - "Ah! My top-grade glass seed! Spit it out! Spit it all out!"
